It is not pilling.</p> <p>Pilling comes from the fibers in the yarns migrating to the surface and then when rubbed together forming little balls that stick to the surface. You most often see pilling under the arms, along the underside of sleeves, or at the waist where a belt rubs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-the-heck-is-slub#post-753898 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 00:57:09 +0000 Raisin 753898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking at buying some relaxed fit t-shirts online, and a lot of them seem to be "slub" shirts....is it just me or is this just a way to say "pilled"? Also, is this the style now or something, and how does it look in real life? Cause I found a few cute ones, but I'm not sure if I want slub or not. </p>
